Hi everyone – December is already here so let’s just cut to the chase. I’ve gathered all my gift ideas and put together a list of my favorite affordable holiday gift Ideas for 2017. Enjoy!

1) Serene House Ultrasonic Cool Mist Aromatherapy Diffuser

We’re all looking for ways to relax and unwind these days. Unlike other aromatherapy diffusers out there, this one has a handy automatic shut-off timer. Purchase online at Nordstrom.

2) Lands End Natural Canvas Tote Bag

This durable tote bag can be customized to your (or your recipient’s) liking – everything from color scheme to bag capacity to handle length! Perfect for everyday errands, grocery shopping and beach trips, this tote will quickly become your go-to bag.

3) Windowbox Herb Planter

This Windowbox Herb Planter from the Tasteful Garden is a great gift for a cooking enthusiast. The planter comes with 3 herb plants of your choice(!), soil and they are perfect for indoor growing. Planter colors include taupe, brown marble, or charcoal.

4) Escali Chrome Digital Kitchen Scale

This handy scale is making its appearance again on my affordable gift ideas list. I think this scale is the most reliable, economical kitchen scale around. I use them at my bakery as well as at the beach loft. It is readily available on amazon.com.

5) COCO Eco-chic Candles by Stone Candles

I love the COCO line of candles by Santa Monica based Stone Candles. The COCO line is comprised of eco-chic coconut wax candles that come in a wide range of scents and start at $6,99. Handcrafted and clean burning, the Honeysuckle candle is my favorite scent so far!

6) Farm to Table Desserts Cookbook

Well of course I had to recommend my cookbook Farm to Table Desserts: 80 Seasonal, Organic Recipes from your Farmers’ Market! It’s perfect for anytime of the year as the recipes are presented by seasons. Purchase my book on Amazon.

7) Heart of Glass Choker by Frasier Sterling

Like them or not, chokers are back in style. Handmade in Los Angeles, Frasier Sterling creations are beautiful and affordable.

8) QUIP Electric Toothbrush

So this gift is probably more for family than friends 🙂 Called the “iPhone of toothbrushes”, this sleek electric toothbrush is getting rave reviews for its sleek design, portability, ease of use and performance. Starter sets begin at $25 with 3-month refills starting at $5. Check it out!

9) Alex and Ani Friend Charm Bangle

The ultimate emblem of friendship, the periwinkle, symbolizes eternity and the power of camaraderie. Enough said.

10) Textured Plaid Square Scarf by J.Jill

I love getting scarves from J. Jill. They have such a nice assortment of designs at reasonable prices. I’m loving this textured plaid scarf because it’s a classic design that’s not too showy yet still eye catching.

Happy Holidays!
